Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, into the wet mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll each dough ball generously in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
Place the coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set but still soft in the center. The powdered sugar coating will crackle during baking to create the signature ‘snowtop’ look.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Chocolate Snowtops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
